A sitter at your door in Abu Dhabi, not a kennel across town

Drop-in pet visits on Petme in Abu Dhabi typically run AED 50 to AED 100 per visit. Most travellers book one to two visits per day. Petme charges 0% owner commission, so the rate is the full price.

A standard 30 to 60 minute visit covers feeding, fresh water, litter scoop or potty break, an AC check, photo updates, and a short walk or play session. You decide which tasks to prioritize during the meet-and-greet.

Yes. Government and corporate leave sets the calendar in Abu Dhabi: the two Eid holidays, National Day on 2 December, and the July to August school break, when families fly out for the whole summer. The Yas Island event season from November to April adds shorter weekend trips on top. Those are the weeks verified sitters fill first, so book them early. Outside them a few days of notice is usually enough.

Petme drop-in sitters live across Corniche, Al Reem Island, Saadiyat Island, Khalifa City, Al Raha Beach, and the rest of Abu Dhabi. Use the map filter in the app to find a sitter close to your address.

It changes the first ten minutes, not the visit itself. Al Reem and Saadiyat are island tower addresses with a security desk and a visitor pass at the barrier. Khalifa City, Al Raha and Al Reef are villa communities where parking is easy but the bridge crossings add real time, so a sitter on your own island is worth more than a closer one on the map. Hand over the key and walk the route once at the meet-and-greet either way.

Every Petme drop-in visit in Abu Dhabi automatically includes up to AED 83,000 in emergency Protection Plan. If your pet needs urgent care during a visit, eligible costs are covered. Full terms in the Petme app.

Yes. Many Petme Abu Dhabi sitters are experienced with recently-relocated pets settling into a new home. Registration with Abu Dhabi City Municipality stays your job, not the sitter’s. Create a free account to browse verified sitters, read reviews, and message before you book.

A pet nanny in Abu Dhabi usually means someone caring for the animal in your own home rather than in a facility, and on Petme that is two separate bookings. A drop-in visit is 30 to 60 minutes, once or twice a day, at AED 50 to AED 100 per visit. Someone sleeping in the house while you travel is house sitting, booked on its own.

Drop-in visits in Abu Dhabi run AED 50 to AED 100 per visit, typically AED 70. One visit a day across a month away works out at AED 1,500 to AED 3,000. Sitters set their own rate and Petme takes 0% commission from owners, so nothing is added at checkout and what you agree in the chat is what you pay.

Start from your own island or district rather than the city centre. Cat drop-in visits near you only hold their time window if the sitter is already on your side of the bridge, so filter the map from your building in Al Reem, Saadiyat, Khalifa City or Al Raha and message the sitters inside that ring first.

For most cats, yes. Cats settle by territory, so in-home pet care leaves the litter tray, the food bowl and the smell of the place exactly where they were, and the only thing that changes is a sitter arriving once or twice a day. A commercial cattery means a carrier, a drive and a strange room, which is the part most cats struggle with.

You leave the sitter’s name at the security desk and arrange a visitor pass at the barrier, then hand over the key at the meet-and-greet. Saadiyat Island towers work the same way. Sort it before the first booked visit, because a sitter held at a barrier is burning your pet’s visit time.

More than the map suggests. Khalifa City, Al Raha and Al Reef are easy to park in, but every bridge crossing adds real time, so a sitter already on your island holds the visit window better than one who is closer in kilometres. Read where a sitter says they are based, not just the distance.

Companies in Abu Dhabi that publish a rate card for in-home visits sit around AED 62 to AED 93 per visit. Petme sitters set their own rate, usually AED 50 to AED 100 per visit, and Petme takes 0% commission from owners, so what you agree is what you pay.
